I don't even mod games on my PC these days, the reason I didn't get a ps4 was primarily due to the mandatory sub fee for online play, low specs, and most games being multi platform anyways.

Gonna use the dosh I've saved getting a Vive instead.

mods, user optimization, choose when to upgrade, steam's economy system, glorious fucking exclusives, keyboard + mouse, the ability to use a text chat in case you are matched with teammates who live under a bridge, you get to choose what controller you want. xbox, ps4, kb+m nobody fucking cares, multi-function. You can fap and play battlefield simultaneously, even if youre too poor to get a phone (u lazy fuck). super fucking cheap games and constant sales. I have gotten hundreds of games since i started PC gaming and I've probably only spent $250. Pirating is also a perk. While yeah, it can hurt the people who made the game, sometimes you need to try out a game before buying which is where this comes into play. Another thign I like since I used to play COD on Xbox 360 in the glory days, you can use skype or teamspeak or whatever anywhere. dont let cunt devs tell you when you can talk to your team.

Typical delusional redditor
>>
>>334543898
because they actually want to have control over their system

they don't want to pay for bullshit paywalls just to get access to their multiplayer games

they want to have the freedom to use their system how they want and what goes on it.

They don't want to be bound by strict hardware and gameplay standards
>>
Because it has more games and it runs better, not to mention it's also a multiple use system.
If you don't care about all the fancy stuff and want a cheaper simpler alternative go with the PS4.
If you're satisfied with your purchase then good, that's all that matters.

People can go hybrid, toaster for games before 2013 + new gen console like ps4 for good exclusives and multi platform

Better performance, more exclusives, better graphics, more utility, modding? I can see why people get a PS4, and I plan to buy one, but looking at it objectively, PC is the better platform. And yes, I am using objective correctly. The better performance is not debatable.

This. I mean, literally the only "advantage" I can think of for gaming on a console is auto-aim/aim assist.

But that was always understood to be a bone devs threw consolefriends to compensate for their shitty controllers.

Why does it always have to be a choice? I have both and no regrets. Honestly I play the PS4 more, but that might be because of disease. I'm unable to service my computer on my ownit took me nearly four hours to simply put an SSD in an empty slot a couple months ago. The worst part is now I have to pay an outsider to build my machine, which means paying out the fucking ass for parts and labor, but the shittiest thing is out of all my friends, I'm the computer guy. So I can't just ask one of them to put it together for me.
Both have their upsides and downsides. I like them both, and probably will for the rest of my life.
>>
>>334551563
The Windows OS is fucking garbage, and good luck getting everything up and running on a linux machine. Dependency hell.
Paying for your own internet connection is pretty bullshit. And having control over content is great. Unfortunately, PC is having tons of shitty multiplats lazily ported over. I'm not saying that the PC doesn't have any exclusive games, but there really isn't much on the horizon right now. I have both devices and the PS4 is just the easier one to fuck around with.

>>334553308
Holy shit aim assist is fucking horrible. I hate it when a game won't give me the option to turn the shit off. The aim assist in Uncharted 3 is so fucking horrible you fight the guns more than your opponents, and you can't turn the shit off. I understand that some people need it, but it would be nice to have the ability to just turn the shit off in the games I'm playing.
>>
>>334543898
But a PS4 is just a shitty gaming PC with a terrible OS that locks you down and makes you play to play online. Why would anyone want that?

>b-but muh exclusives

If no one bought this POS then it would have no exclusives since they would be forced to put them all on PC to make their development cost back.
>>
Every person who argues consoles are better is just trying to convince them selves they didn't fuck up. This is a fact.

I know this because I was one of you.

PS4's OS is actually not bad at all. It is pretty snappy and does what I want it to do. It doesn't have sixty seven processes that need to be killed off before starting up a game, and that is a big plus for me.

I wouldn't say better each is shit in its own way. But they really can't be compared all that well either. PC hardware can be wildly different from a PS4, so much so that it really shouldn't be in the same category. It's like a tiny boxer fighting Butterbean.
Consoles are better for some, while computers are better for others. Some people don't like to have to deal with the maintenance that comes with a PC, and I don't see a problem with that. I have both devices and I've found great shit to do on both of them. I don't think that will change anytime soon. PC's should be better, but it really fucking depend, since the hardware varies so wildly. The guy with a fucking toaster that can barely run Solitaire considers himself part of the 'master race'.
>>
>>334560605
Nope. Probably will never happen considering how different the architecture is. My question is why would you want it? Did you not keep your PS3? Or are you thinking of getting a PS4, and want to know if it can play all of the PS3's hidden gems?
>>
>>334543898
Because I don't care about Uncharted/Souls games and I like having multitasking + playing games in 60fps.
>>
>they're poor af
>they're clinically retarded
>>
>>334543898
because some people enjoy paying out the ass for hardware just to get a marginally better experience playing ported games
>>
Mods, this was a big selling point for me considering I loved tes games on console. Really liking openmw right now.

60fps, higher once I upgrade someday, hopefully.

Cool games like sins of a solar empire and kerbal space program. Only exclusives I liked on console was halo anyway. Still thought bloodborne looked really good but at least ds3 is nice.

Steam sales.

I can see the benefits to consoles like giving video gaming a bigger market, and it seems easier to connect with friends. But that could be because all my friends are console gamers.
>>
>>334561518
The Steam sales and key sales are hands down better than Sony sales. I wish the PS4 had sales like that. I don't mind a game being 30fps if it was made that way and never drops from 30fps. Same with 60fps. The shit better be locked down. I don't want the game I'm playing to turn into a fucking slideshow out of nowhere.
>>
>>334543898
Because I wanna play games that aren't BB and LBP.

Pretty much this. I expect PCucks to shittost not only in the final fantasy 15 threads but the persona 5 threads as well.
>>
The main ones, to me, are mods. But there's tons of other reasons, like free online and superior graphics. PC gaming is objectibly better.

The reason why i bought my PS4 and i'm not a mustard: i'm poor, and i was desperate to play Arkham Knight day one. I'm still enjoying my PS4.
